Calling all arachnid taxonomists! Do you know of any trans or gender-nonconforming arachnologists who have described at least one spider species at any point in history? 🏳️‍⚧️ Please DM me if so, and if not, please RT! Lauren Esposito SCC Franklyn Cala-Riquelme. Dr. Kate Montana

Woo hoo! That’s my roommate!

Tmrw at 2 PM I’m giving the finishing talk of my master’s w/ Lauren Esposito! I’ll be discussing my archival research/mentorship focused on highlighting lesser known scientists California Academy of Sciences, as well as a molecular phylogeny of the spider family Dictynidae youtube.com/live/mZpXylLZN…

so great to put on another round of PEN w/ Jen Hunter at HastingsReserve where kids learn all about birds, mammals, archaeology and more!! read more here cesaroestien.com/pen and contact Jen/me if you’re interested in supporting us for next year!

Thanks so much for the feature @PodcastSpecies! If you'd like to learn about the first Argyresthia described from Central America go give a listen!

Got mine!! 😍

I published all materials (course text, videos and code) for my course: Machine Learning & Data Science with Applications to Personalized Medicine! Hope they are useful to you! SFSU PINC SF State @SFStateBIO pleunipennings.wordpress.com/machine-learni…

Ezra Mendales defended his Masters’ thesis today. Beyond proud of his work exploring phylogenetics of Butorides herons (including Lava Heron from Galápagos). Can’t wait to follow his accomplishments as a PhD student. Jack Dumbacher John McCormack

Pacific chorus frogs do not have the classic amino acid substitutions in domain IV of SCNA4 that would provide them with TTX resistance. Interesting that they can still mistakenly amplect Taricha and seem fine. See paper below for details

Now open access 😃 meridian.allenpress.com/journal-of-her…

Super excited about this one! I hope you get inspired by historical scientists doing their thing! Please give our recent paper a read in the SSB Bulletin :) ssbbulletin.org/index.php/bssb…

Our latest paper on marronoid spiders is published! 🔥 congratulations Jacob Gorneau Lauren Esposito SCC Kate Montana Lina Almeida and others Webs of intrigue: museum genomics elucidate relationships of the marronoid spider clade (Araneae) academic.oup.com/isd/article/7/…

Congrats to the record-setting ELEVEN Summer Systematics Institute interns selected to present their research at SACNAS — not just an incredible showing (+2 category winners!), but an amazing experience all around. Want to join SSI '24? More on our U.S. National Science Foundation #REU program @ bit.ly/3pZjTNX

For Halloween, an oh-so-sweet story of spider togetherness: Congrats to our Arachnology Lab on their massive new pub proving that 3,400 species are all related despite being wildly ecologically different — adapted for caves, underwater, salt flats, & more! bit.ly/3slA3SD

Check out my talk at #EntSoc23 on the most representative molecular phylogeny of the spider family Dictynidae. In the Building a Better Insect (or Arachnid 😁) Tree of Life Symposium on Tues 11/7 at 3:05 PM in Chesapeake E-F. Also in the symposium are Dr. Lacie Newton 🏳️‍🌈 + @entomolrj !!
